Why It Works
A note under the wiper blows away. A phone number on your glass is there for everyone. A Pingable sticker is neither.
You pick how finders reach you — anonymous chat, WhatsApp, Viber, email, phone call or any link. Change it anytime.
How It Works
Stick it on. Stay reachable.
Stick it inside your windscreen
In a passenger-side corner. Scan it once to choose how people can reach you. It takes about two minutes.
Someone needs to reach you
They scan the tag and send a message, or tap a ready-made one like "You're blocking me in".
You get pinged
You get the message straight away and reply in the same private chat.
No subscription. Ever.
Other car contact services charge every month. Pingable is a one-off: buy the tags once and the service is included for as long as you have the car.
Your privacy and safety
Will they see my phone number, name, or address?
Not unless you decide to share one. By default you stay anonymous. If you choose to activate other messaging apps, they share as you do — it's mutual, and it's your call.
Isn't putting my details on my vehicle a security risk?
That's exactly the risk this removes. A traditional tag broadcasts your personal details to everyone who walks past it. A Pingable tag shows nothing but a code — your details stay with you.
Can someone scan it to track me or find out who I am?
No. Scanning the code opens a message to you. It doesn't reveal your location, your identity, or anything you haven't chosen to share.
The tag itself
Will the code wear off or stop scanning?
Each tag is a vinyl sticker, 7.5 cm across, UV-resistant and non-yellowing. It clings to the glass without glue and peels off without leaving residue.
Where should I put it?
Inside the windscreen, in a top or bottom corner on the passenger side, out of your line of sight. Check your local rules on windscreen stickers first
Why two tags?
One for each car in the household, or keep one as a spare for a new windscreen or your next car.
How does it attach?
The product is a static cling vinyl sticker which you place onto the glass and rub out any air pockets after. It doesn't leave any residue if you ever decide to remove it. Easy.
Setting it up and living with it
I bought it here — how do I set it up?
Your tag arrives ready to activate. Scan the QR code, register it against your email, optionally select your additional contact methods and you are good to go. A few minutes to set up, once.
Can I change my contact details later?
Yes — any time, from www.pingable.me. The tag stays the same, your details can be changed.
What if I lose my login?
You sign in with Google or a one-time link sent to your email. Nothing to memorise, nothing to lose.
What if I sell the vehicle?
Remove the tag and use it on your next car, or release it from your account so the new owner can register it.
What can I put it on?
It's made for the inside of a window of a car. That's the personal pain point we solved for. However it can be any vehicle obviously!
Cost and what you get
Is there a subscription or ongoing fee?
No. You buy the tag once. The core service behind it stays free as long as you use it as intended / within our terms of service.
When will I get my order?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location, but it's typically within days.
There are cheaper QR tags online — what's different about yours?
Durability, mutual anonymity, flexibility, no app, no subscription. However, feel free to email support@pingable.me and if there's a genuine cheaper equivalent option we'll match the price.
If Pingable ever changes
What happens if the company shuts down — does my tag become useless?
The company is set up and registered to last (for example a 10-year renewing domain name commitment). Should the company run into unforeseen trouble we have defined a process to transition into a low-cost maintenance mode, which ensures the base service keeps operating for your product.
Shipping and returns
Where do you ship from, and how long does it take?
Tags ship from the EU. Delivery times, regions, and costs are shown at checkout before you pay. Typically 1-3 days, but allow a week for outside the EU
What's your returns policy?
If you are an EU consumer you can cancel within 14 days of receiving the goods, no reason needed. For a change of mind you cover return postage; if the item is faulty, damaged, or incorrect we cover return shipping. Refunds go to your original payment method within 14 days of us receiving the item back (or proof of postage). Full detail here. Questions: email returns@pingable.me
